Changing code on the fly

[tjw2006]

Hi, is it possible to change the vb code behind a asp.net page once it has been deployed without having to do it in the designer and rebuilding it and having to deploy the whole project again?

Thanks

It depends on how you have built and deployed the project. If you build it so that it all gets compiled into 1 dll in the bin folder (which is usually the default), then no. If you have built it so that each page gets it's own assembly and dll then you can just recompile and deploy that assembly and page.

Thanks Mark, yes it's compiling into 1 DLL. How easy is it to get it to compile into multiple DLLs for each page?

Not too difficult - when you use the publish website option there is a checkbox for whether you want to "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies".

Is there any way to do this if you're using a copy method to deploy the application?

Thanks

Just publish it locally and then copy it over.
